eneral Descriptive Cist 
ACE OF SPADES (Salbach 1941) M. 33”. 
A stately, dark mulberry purple, faintly ruffled; falls deep 
manganese violet, heavy, lustrous sheen. Dark subdued 
beard in tune with the ebon hues. $3.00 
ADVENTURE (Grant 1941) M. 36”. 
Winsome, delicate plicata with brownish red markings ap- 
proaching strawberry in tone. Attractive in form and well 
substanced. $8.00 
ALASTOR (Spender 1940) EM. 38”. 
One of the exceptional iris originated in England and in- 
troduced by us to America. A beautiful suave, smoothly 
finished deep pink close to cyclamin pink with a pronounced 
golden center with a symmetrical golden-hazel brown haft. 
The entire flower has a satiny glistening finish climaxed by 
a bright orange beard. $3.00 
ALINE (Stern 1934) M. 34”. 
Tranquil as the deep azure of early morning, this medium 
blue self of conventionally perfect form comes close to true 
blue. Fine enameled finish. 25c; 3 for 60c 
AMIGO (Williamson 1934) EM. 34”. 
An iris of endearing personality, unassuming for all its 
rich endowment of color. Captivating pansy colored 
favorite, clear light blue-lavender standards, lustrous deep 
purple velvet, trimly edged falls. A rare color gem that 
should be in every garden. Its striking contrast reminds 
one of a rich silken pansy. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
AMITOLA (H. Sass 1936) ML. 38”. 
A large, enticing smooth blend. ‘The full shaped flowers 
are lightly ruffled, a delicate mixture of rose and gold. A 
better formed, pinker Rameses, very satisfactory. 
35c; 3 for 90c 
ANGELUS (Egelberg 1937) L. 36”. 
One of the very finest pink iris. The broad blooms, 
heavily textured are ideally spaced on a well branched stalk. 
In color it is a jewel — near self of mallow pink with a shim- 
mering mauve iridescence on the falls. The color is ex- 
quisite and it is an outstanding iris in its class. It is a win- 
ner on the show table and has the additional merit of being 
one of the later iris to bloom prolonging the season in the 
garden. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
ANITRA (H. Sass 1936) ML. 35”. 
A pearly blue of fine texture and substance that has a 
luminous quality at twilight. In its domed standards and 
broadly flaring falls it reminds one of Shining Waters, but 
its tint of blue is paler, more silvery. A big favorite in our 
garden. 35c; 3 for 90c 
ANNA GAGE (Gage 1941) E. 35”. 
One of the original, unusual blends developed by Mr. 
Gage. A gorgeous blend of tawny olive standards and rich 
garnet brown falls that flare. A fascinating Oriental blend. 
$5.00 
ANNE MARIE BERTHIER (Cayeux 1939) EM. 36”. 
Cayeux’s pure white, without throat markings of any 
kind. Lemon yellow beard. The color is exceedingly 
pure and chaste. Very vigorous grower. $3.50 
ARCTIC (Kleinsorge 1940) M. 40”. 
A creamy smooth, warm white. It has been likened to 
the color of country cream with the flower lightly ruffled. 
The interesting feature is its gold throat that spills over in a 
generous overflow of yellow on the falls. This gives the en- 
tire flower a lively effect, branches well on good stems. The 
flowers 'are medium sized, just right for its luscious color- 
ings. $3.50 
ARETHUSA (Gage 1940) M. 40”. 
A simply exquisite, lustrous, medium-rose development 
delicately blended with tones of melodious golden-bronze 
in the haft which contrasts effectively with the daphne red 
tones of the flower. Unusual metallic lustre and striking 
color; fair substance. Fine stem, unique color. $6.00 
AT DAWNING (Kirkland 1935) E. 40”. 
An arbutus pink bicolor, standards shimmering as if 
indeed touched by the “rosy-fingered Dawn” and at the 
base glowing as if with the gold of imminent day. The same 
golden flood extends also to the smooth, rosier toned falls. 
40c; 3 for $1.00 
AUBANEL (Cayeux 1935) M. 38”. 
In the opinion of many experts this is one of the truest 
pinks. An unusual iris of unique color value, shrimp-pink 
to rose-pink. Medium sized flowers, the center of each fall 
is highlighted by a distinct spot of lilac with the center of 
the flower enlivened by a warm yellow throat. It is a 
striking picture viewed as a clump in the sunlight. 75c 
AVONDALE (H. Sass 1934) ML. 33”. 
A rich bicolor of strawberry red tones with a lamplike 
inner glow and vivid orange beard. A spectacular beauty. 
In every way an excellent iris. This is a very popular iris 
and our stock has never been sufficient. If you order late 
please indicate a second choice. 50c 
AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge 1939) M. 38”. 
One of the unusual almost quixotic iris. A peculiar 
blending and washing of muted smoky violets and soft cop- 
pers. The individual flowers are big, well substanced. 
Best planted near strong (rich) yellows with a green shrub- 
bery background to bring out the unusual color symphony. 
$2.50 
AZTEC GLORY (Horton 1941) EM. 35”. 
Exceptional and unusual! In reality a klaidescope of 
color combining the harmony of the blend class with the 
richness and burnished finish of the reds and coppers. A 
self-glowing copper blend. Dissimilar to other varieties. 
Stems very excellently branched; average flower and height. 
$7.50 
BALLET GIRL (UH. Sass 1935) EM. 38”. 
An iris of distinctive, delicate personality, and poised, 
restrained carriage; in color the filmiest pink imaginable, 
reminding one of the exquisite shades of pink found in 
sweet peas. An iris that grows in one’s appreciation. 
30c 
BALMUNG HU. Sass 1939) ML. 38”. 
Resembles a rare tropical orchid. About one of the 
finest yellow ground plicatas. Broadly expansive petals 
with a regular plicata marking, not too heavy, on a back- 
ground that is pronouncedly yellow. It and Ruth Pollock, 
colored in a different manner, are perhaps the finest, in our 
opinion. A capricious color pattern of unusual color as- 
semblage. $3.50
